- What is your essential question?
What is most important in creating a successful theatrical performance?
- What is your second answer to your essential question?
"Most actors involved in the production can contribute a valuable skill other than acting."
- What are three details to support or justify your second answer?
"Play to the top of your intelligence. You need more than just meer acting to cut it. Make the character as real as you are. Stupidity doesn't create anything." -Second City Improvisation
This award winning play, [Nunsense] requires you to tap dance, sing, ballet, and learn ventriloquism.
"We require a resume for a reason. You must portray something real so you should be skillful in as many areas as possible. You should have something you're good at that can be shown on stage. Just acting doesn't cut it nowadays. It's alright though. The more plays you're in, the more random ass crap you learn. I learned how to do the splits for a show. I never used that skill again." -Toni Lynd Director and runs a casting workshop

- What source helped you prove your answer is justified for your essential question?
My source that solidly proved this statement was the actors in "The Nerd." Each one can contribute something else to the scene that isn't necessarily needed but makes the scene that much more lovable with these little quirks in it. Chris Dielh sang Happy Birthday beautifully, because he's an amazing musical theatre singer. Bruce Hutching is a professional digital artist and also did the color renderings needed for the play along with the flyer. Stephanie Grimley cooked all the food we used since she's a great cook. They all contributed a valuable skill and it made a big difference.
- What do you plan to study next with your second answer and why?
I plan to study directing and famous actors and actresses and their other various talents. As of this moment in time I'm adequate in all aspects of the theatre world, except for directing while paying special attention to who brings what else to the table.
